Highlighting the dreadful fact that innocent lives were lost at the hands of violence, the actress described the attack as “reprehensible.”

The Pahalgam attack

On Tuesday, unidentified gunmen created havoc at Pahalgam when they opened fire on a group of tourists. Their inhuman act of extreme violence left behind a trail of destruction and loss, as alongside the 26 people who lost their lives, many others sustained serious injuries. Not just this, reports claim that several families have been left shattered and displaced.
Reportedly, the assailants are believed to be a part of The Resistance Front, a splinter group of the prohibited terror organization Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), who targeted tourists in one of the most lethal terrorist incidents in Kashmir in recent years.
